Ingredients for Angel Hair Pasta With Coriander And Chilli

  • Angel Hair Pasta
  • Olive Oil
  • Birds Eye Chiles
  • Garlic Cloves
  • Fresh Coriander Leaves
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

How to Make Angel Hair Pasta With Coriander And Chilli

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the angel hair pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped chilies and minced garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and slightly softened.
  3. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped coriander and salt.
  4. Add the drained pasta to the skillet along with the reserved pasta water (add a little at a time if needed to create a light sauce). Toss gently to combine.
  5. Stir in the lemon juice and continue to toss until the pasta is well coated.
  6. Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
